About City Archipelago Plan Mestre de Distrito Urbano

O plan converte unha antiga área industrial abandonada nun distrito mixto de funcións de oficinas, residenciais e de innovación dixital. As zonas de auga e verdes funcionan como infraestrutura verde que axuda a xestionar as inundacións por tormentas e mellora a vida cotiá na cidade. Os edificios verdes disponse nun patrón disperso para formar illas. As instalacións de servizos empresariais ao longo da vía troncal urbana reducen o ruído e a distracción visual.
